In the past two years of Yan Zhou, the emperor in power, Lao'er Xuanyuan, was obsessed with seeking immortals and asked, alchemy and health, and his body became worse and worse, and the matter of fighting for the prince in the palace became more and more fierce, and many officials in the previous dynasty began to stand in line.

In order to find a way out, he decided to stand in line in advance, and secretly stood aside with a few people who were very optimistic about Concubine Yu Xian, who was very optimistic about currying favor in front of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Today, the second master heard that the new lady cousin in the house had injured the guards next to the third prince, and he was really shocked and angry, and hurriedly took leave and rushed back to the house, and wanted to drive Seocho away.

He didn't want a weed to come out of nowhere and ruin his good official career!

Old Madam Mu glared at the second old man Mu Jingcheng: "Second child, since you were a child, I have told you to put your heart right, be down-to-earth, and don't be ambitious." Today, Xiaocao'er saved your second daughter's life, not only did you not thank her, but you even wanted to drive her away, did I teach you to be so ungrateful?"

The second old man, Mu Jingcheng, took care of the loss, so he began to talk again, saying that he did not fail to thank Seocho, even if he sent Seocho out of the house, he would arrange it properly, and it would definitely not be worse than living in Mufu, and wronged Seocho.

"Can that be the same?"

Mrs. Mu was so angry that her hands trembled, and when Mu Jingcheng wanted to speak again, she was stopped by Master Mu: "Second child, you don't say a few words, don't make your mother angry." ”

After Mu Jingzhong finished speaking, he smiled at Mrs. Mu: "Mother, I heard about this today, and the third prince did a lot of rudeness. How can the girl be unwilling, he still insists on bringing it into the palace, what is the difference between that and robbing the people's daughter, even if it is sued to the saint, we are also reasonable. ”

"It was the girl who slapped the tanuki cat of the third prince to death with one palm, so ......"

The second old man's mouth was killed in seconds by the eyes launched by Mrs. Mu, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, he didn't dare to contradict Mrs. Mu, so he was angry with his eldest brother: "Big brother, you will pretend to be a good person in front of your mother, and make me look like a bad person who is not filial every time." I did a good job under you, but you had to let me resign. Now I am in the Ministry of Rites, and I can see the faces of some sour old masters, who are about to be pickled into pickled cucumbers in the sour water they spit out, and they are suffocated to death. You're to blame for it anyway!"

Before, the second master Mu Jingcheng was originally a temple in marble, responsible for handling some case documents, because there were five temple officials, so it was regarded as a first-class idleman.

Moreover, there is also Mu Jingzhong, a capable big brother, on top of him, and every day he goes to work is as leisurely as playing soy sauce, and no one has any trouble with him at all, and his belly has grown twice.

It's like he is now a foreigner in the Ministry of Rites, every day in front of a bunch of sour and rotten old pedants with wrinkled faces, and he often talks about listening to some of the great principles of the sages who "govern the country with etiquette, govern the family, govern the school, and govern people", anyway, everything in the world is inseparable from the word "etiquette", and he hates to be a monk every day.

It's just that these annoying etiquette teachings are not bad, and it will pass by plugging your ears with cotton.

But a few half-buried old men in the Ministry of Rites couldn't sit still like thorns on their chairs, and they were full of enthusiasm to criticize the disadvantages of the times and Kuang Fu Sheji, and ran to the emperor every day to be loyal and honest, and did the work of speaking and admonishing officials, all of which were to say something that poked the emperor's lungs. He also criticized some colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty for favoritism and fraud, completely robbed the Yushitai of supervising the imperial history, and provoked the emperor Lao'er and the Manchu civil and military to complain about the Ministry of Rites.

With an average age of nearly seventy, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and two waiters do their best every day to do some things like seven or eight-year-old babies kicking the dog's head with the cat's tail. But because these old men were all ministers of the first emperor's side back then, they were quite respected by His Majesty today, and everyone had nothing to do with them.

But the second old man Mu Jingcheng, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, looked at the white eyes of others every day, and became a punching bag for others, and almost every day there were officials who asked him to persuade the three fiery old men in a soft or hard tone.

If that stubborn old man is willing to listen to him, he won't have to go to work every day as if he is going to be dragged to the palace to be tortured!

When Mrs. Mu heard Mu Jingcheng complaining about his eldest brother, she immediately knocked on the dragon head crutch in her hand: "That's because you yourself are not promising, no wonder others!"

When the second old man Mu Jingcheng was serving in Marble, he looked at the intricate case file in his hand, and fell into deep thought, and soon his eyes darkened, and he snored!

The second master is not the material for the case, he originally just wanted to be a salted fish that could give birth to a son and live a stable life.

As a result, his eldest brother Mu Jingzhong disliked him for occupying the pit in Dali Temple and not, so he was transferred away, so he accidentally aroused the little bit of self-motivation in his heart.

"I think it's because my eldest brother thinks I'm an eyesore and a shame, so he took me away. ”

The second old man Mu Jingcheng replied dissatisfiedly, and the old lady Mu sighed: "You don't make mistakes, your eldest brother is not that kind of person." ”

The eldest lord Mu Jingzhong was a little weak when he heard this, he transferred Mu Jingcheng at the beginning, because there were too many cases in Dali Temple, and there were not enough people, and his brother, who did not grow up, still occupied a position here in vain and waited for death, which was simply a mess for him, which was really an eyesore and a shame.

Mrs. Mu asked the second master, Mu Jingcheng, not to think nonsense, Mu Mansion is the two brothers of the same mother, so they naturally have to work together, and they must not give birth to these filthy and resentful thoughts.

and told the second master, Mu Jingcheng, to work hard in the Ministry of Rites, to be appreciated by his boss, and to be able to get through sooner or later.

And she doesn't want her brothers to be promoted and make a fortune, as long as the family is harmonious and safe!

The second old man, Mu Jingcheng, was worried that he had already been tortured by the old man in the Ministry of Rites before he got out of the way.

As the saying goes: Thirty is not rich, forty is not rich, and fifty will decline to find help!

The second old man, Mu Jingcheng, is now over forty years old and is not rich, and he has no children to help, so he simply went straight to "find a dead end". If you don't flutter again, there will be no day to turn over.

So, he hummed disappreciably and agreed, but in his heart he was secretly thinking about how to let that weed apologize to the third prince.

Master Mu Jingzhong glanced at the second brother who didn't know what he was thinking, and said to Mrs. Mu with a slightly serious face: "Mother, in the past two days, my son has heard some rumors about Miss Cousin, saying that she is a lucky star to avoid misfortune, what do you think about this?"

Old Madam Mu replied without thinking about it: "Since it is said that it is a rumor, it is naturally not credible, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”

The second old man, Mu Jingcheng, snorted disdainfully: "I look at that dumb girl, where is the lucky star, it's not bad if it's not a disaster star." You see that she has only been in the house for a few days, and she has made the house restless. In my opinion, it is better to send her away, lest she ......"

"Knock", Mrs. Mu knocked the cane in her hand heavily, and glared at the second master: "Don't say this again, Xiaocao'er must stay in the house to take care of it." My Mufu, there is no such ungrateful and ruthless villain!"

The second old man, Mu Jingcheng's face trembled, and he said, "Listen to my mother", and then retired to the old lady.

But. When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, and without looking back, he said, "There is a grass in front of the court, and a good thing is better than nothing", and then left quickly.

Old Madam Mu was so angry that her face turned blue, and she reprimanded loudly at the door where the figure disappeared: "Second child, I will also send you a word, 'It is better to be positive than insufficient, not to be evil and more than enough'." ”
